Shopping Cart ‘Shipping’ Can Now Be Any Phrase You Want

November 8, 2006

When web-store-buddy displays a shopping cart it says “shipping”. That phrase also appears in the order confirmation. However Diane from yellowbarnweb.com has a customer who makes a handling charge based on a percentage of the order rather than a shipping charge.

Web-store-buddy can calculate the charge perfectly well but it doesn’t look right on the shopping cart.

So what we’ve done is added a new option (under “shipping & handling”) that allows you to replace “shipping” with a phrase of your choice (e.g. handling, carriage, freight).
